THIS WILL DISCONNECT THE UV-SET TER™ SO THAT IT WILL STOP IMMEDIATELY. IF EMERGENCY STOP IS TRIPPED DURING AN EXPOSURE, THE EXPOSURE MUST BE REPEATED. FIG. 2-6 BEFORE RESTARTING THE UV-SET TER™ MAKE SURE THAT THE EMERGENCY STOP BUT TON IS UNLOCKED. TO DO SO, TURN THE EMERGENCY STOP BUT TON EITHER IN THE CLOCKWISE OR IN THE COUNTERCLOCKWISE DIRECTION UNTIL IT UNLOCKS AUDIBLY. THEN PUSH THE START BUT TON TO START THE UV-SETTER. CHAPTER 3 DESIGN AND FUNCTION PRINCIPLE THE UV-SETTER™ IS A DIGITAL IMAGESET TER. OUR RANGE OF PRODUCTS COMPRISES UV-SET TERS™ WITH ONE OR T WO EXPOSURE HEADS, AS WELL AS MANUAL AND FULLY AUTOMATIC SYSTEMS (THE UV-SET TERS™ 15X2/16X2 ARE ONLY AVAILABLE AS MANUAL SYSTEMS). WITH THE UV-CTP™ TECHNIQUE (COMPUTER TO CONVENTIONAL PLATE) FROM PUNCH GRAPHIX PREPRESS GERMANY, CONVENTIONAL OFFSET PRINTING PLATES CAN BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE RELIABLE AND FAST CTP PRODUCTION. UV-SET TERS™ CAN EXPOSE ALL STANDARD PRINTING PLATE FORMATS. 3.1 DESIGN THE UV-SET TER IS DESIGNED AS AN ENCLOSED, COMPACT MACHINE (SEE FIG. 3-1). FIG. 3-1 ACCESS TO THE EXPOSURE UNIT IS OBTAINED VIA A HINGED COVER. SOME HOUSING PARTS OF THE UV-SET TER CAN BE REMOVED FOR MAINTENANCE OR INSTALLATION PURPOSES (SEE ILLUSTRATIONS BELOW). THE BASE FRAME INCORPORATES THE POWER SUPPLY AND MACHINE CONTROL COMPONENTS, AS WELL AS A CONTROL PC AND THE FAN MOTORS COOLING CERTAIN COMPONENTS WITH AIR. THE INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS OF THE UV-SET TER ARE CONTROLLED VIA THE CONTROL PC. THE GRAY CAST IRON PLATE WITH THE DRIVE ELEMENTS, THE POSITIONING SYSTEM AND THE VACUUM PUNCHED-HOLE PLATE IS MOUNTED ON THE BASE FRAME. THE MATERIAL TO BE EXPOSED (E.G. PRINTING PLATES) IS DEPOSITED ON THE VACUUM PUNCHED-HOLE PLATE (SEE FIG. 3-5). FIG. 3-5 THE VACUUM PUNCHED-HOLE PLATE PROVIDES AN EXCELLENT SURFACE QUALITY AND IS MANUFACTURED INDIVIDUALLY FOR THE PARTICULAR CUSTOMER. IT POSSESSES SMALL HOLES THROUGH WHICH A VACUUM IS GENERATED OR BLOW AIR IS SUPPLIED. FOR EXACT ALIGNMENT OF THE PRINTING PLATES, REGISTER PINS CAN BE INSERTED. OPTIONALLY, THE UV-SET TER™ MAY POSSESS T WO EXPOSURE HEADS, WHICH CAN THEN BE CONTROLLED INDEPENDENTLY OF EACH OTHER ON THE Y AXIS. EXPOSURE CAN BE PERFORMED USING EITHER ONLY ONE OR BOTH EXPOSURE HEADS. IN ADDITION, AN EXTERNAL COOLING UNIT IS SUPPLIED WHICH PROVIDES FOR THE HEAT COMPENSATION OF THE COMPONENTS SUBJECT TO THERMAL LOAD (EXPOSURE HEAD, LINEAR MOTORS OF THE X AND Y AXES, ETC.). 3.2 FUNCTION PRINCIPLE 3.2.1 FUNDAMENTALS THE DSI2 EXPOSURE METHOD FROM PUNCH GRAPHIX PREPRESS GERMANY, IN COMBINATION WITH THE HIGH-END OPTICS, ALLOWS STRIPS OF 1,024 PIXELS IN WIDTH TO BE EXPOSED IN ONE CONTINUOUS MOVEMENT. THE HEART OF THE METHOD IS A MICRO-MIRROR CHIP (DIGITAL MICROMIRROR DEVICE™, DMD™). APPROX. 0.8 MILLION DIGITALLY CONTROLLED AND INDIVIDUALLY ALIGNED MICRO-MIRRORS ARE TO BE FOUND ON THIS DEVICE, MAKING UP A TOTAL MIRROR SURFACE OF APPROX. 1.5 CM2. DURING EXPOSURE, THE LIGHT STRIKING THE MIRROR SURFACE IS EITHER PROJECTED THROUGH THE OPTICS TO THE PRINTING PLATE OR ELSE REFLECTED AWAY; THE RESULT WILL BE A RASTER IMAGE. 3.2.2 EXPOSURE PROCESS AFTER AN EXPOSURE PROCESS HAS BEEN STARTED, THE CONTROL PC WILL SPLIT THE IMAGE FILES EXISTING IN THE FORM OF TIFF FILES INTO INDIVIDUAL STRIPS IN WIDTH OF THE DISPLAY. THESE ARE TRANSFERRED TO THE DMD™ VIA THE ALREADY POSITIONED EXPOSURE HEAD. SO-CALLED TRIGGER ELECTRONICS ARE SUPPLIED WITH THE REQUIRED INFORMATION REGARDING THE DESIRED TRIGGER POSITIONS. THE TRIGGER ELECTRONICS GRANT DIRECT ACCESS TO THE LINEAR ENCODERS OF THE Y AXIS AND PROVIDE FOR A TRUE-TO-REGISTER SHIFTING OF THE IMAGE INFORMATION. THE VIOLET LIGHT OF THE LASER DIODES IS REFLECTED ACCORDING TO THE IMAGE DATA EXISTING ON THE DMD™ AND IS PASSED TO THE UV SENSITIVE PRINTING PLATE. ONCE A STRIP IS COMPLETED, THE AXIS BEARING THE EXPOSURE HEAD TRAVERSES TO THE POSITION OF THE NEXT STRIP. IF ALL STRIPS ARE EXPOSED, THE EXPOSURE HEAD RETURNS TO ITS PARK POSITION. 3.3 PRINTING PLATE LOADING UNIT („LOADER“) IF THE AUTOMATIC MODE IS ACTIVATED AND AN EXPOSURE JOB (IN THE PROGRAM REFERRED TO AS „JOB“) IS CREATED, THE UV-SET TER™ CONTROL AUTOMATICALLY STARTS THE PROCESS SEQUENCE. FIG. 3-7 THE PLATE LIFTER (SEE FIG. 3-7) MOVES OVER THE PRINTING PLATE MAGAZINE. IF SLIP SHEET LIES ON THE UPPERMOST PRINTING PLATES, IT IS FIRST GRIPPED BY A CONTRAST-LIGHT-SENSOR INSTALLED ON THE PLATE LIFTER. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE PAPER REMOVAL DEVICE (SEE FIG. 3-8) SWINGS TO THE SLIP SHEET AND CLAMPS THE PAPER USING T WO GRIPPERS. THEREAFTER, THE PAPER REMOVAL DEVICE SWINGS BACK TO THE PAPER BASKET WHERE THE PAPER IS FOLDED ONCE. ARRIVED THERE, THE GRIPPERS DROP THE PAPER INTO THE PAPER BASKET THAT STANDS EXTERNALLY AT THE LOADER. ONCE THE PRINTING PLATE IS POSITIONED (AS AN OPTION, IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT T WO PRINTING PLATES ARE INSTALLED), THE BLOW AIR IN THE PUNCHED-HOLED VACUUM PLATE IS TURNED OFF. THE PRINTING PLATES ARE NOW SUCKED IN AND THUS SECURED AGAINST SHIFTING. AT THE SAME TIME, THE FEATHER KEYS ARE DRAWN IN. THE PLATE LIFTER NOW TRAVERSES UPWARDS AGAIN, MOVES TO THE RIGHT AND STOPS ABOVE THE PLATE MAGAZINE TO RECEIVE NEW PRINTING PLATES. IN PARALLEL, THE EXPOSURE PROCESS STARTS. THE PLATES ARE EXPOSED FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT. 3.4 PLATE UNLOADER (OPTIONAL) WHEN THE EXPOSURE IS COMPLETED, THE Y AXIS MOVES INTO THE UNLOADING POSITION ABOVE THE PRINTING PLATES. THIS POSITION IS DEPENDENT ON THE PLATE FORMAT USED AND IS SET UP IN ADVANCE. AT THE UNLOADING POSITION, T WO PAIRS OF SUCKERS ARE LOWERED TO THE PRINTING PLATES AND PICK THEM UP WITH THEIR VACUUM (SEE FIG. 3-10 FIGURE 1). THE Y AXIS NOW CARRIES THE PLATES TO A PREVIOUSLY DEFINED POSITION ABOVE THE CONVEYOR BELT 2, WHICH IS NOW ALSO RUNNING. WHEN THIS POSITION IS REACHED, THE VACUUM IS CANCELED AND THE SUCKERS DROP THE PLATES ONTO THE CONVEYOR BELT 3 FOR TRANSPORT OUT OF THE UV-SET TER™ 4. THE RUNNING OF THE CONVEYOR BELT IS TIMER-CONTROLLED. SENSORS DETECTED THE ARRIVING PLATES, AND PERMIT INTEGRATION WITH SUBSEQUENT AUTOMATED FURTHER PROCESSING (E.G. PLATE DEVELOPMENT). CHAPTER 4 OPERATING THE UVSET TER 4.1 GENERAL USE THE UV-SET TER™ EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE EXPOSURE OF APPROPRIATE EXPOSURE MATERIAL (E.G. OFFSET PRINTING PLATES).
